    I found out this week that my 25-lb bag of flour has been "removed" from
    the science lab (apparently we had a rodent over the summer). Anyway,
    for my papier mache, I just substituted it and it's fine. It says on
    the side of the box that 1T cornstarch equals 2T flour. So I just put
    it in the blender with water, turn it on and blend, sprinkling more and
    more until it won't spin freely anymore. Then after sitting awhile, it
    get REALLY thick, so sometimes I add more water. It really gets hard,
    more than I expected. If it seems too thin, I might add a splash of
    liquid starch, or glue or Ross art paste (which I have, but I don't like
    for papier mache).
